Ian Can Crawl

For the last few weeks, Ian has been moving around on his tummy, or trying to push himself forward using his legs. However, when we brought him back from the nanny this evening, put him on the mat as usual, he started to push himself forward. Or rather, he pulled himself forward using his arms muscles. According to the GD book, this is considered as crawling, although creeping is another stage from which Ian is still far.

He pulled himself forward 3 times, before we decided to shoot videos of him in action.

First, he was in the 12 o'clock direction, and started to move anti-clockwise. Somewhere in the middle of the short film, he pulled himself forward again.

Ian moved to the 11 o'clock position...and pulled himself forward once again.

Ian did it one more time... he started from the 9 o'clock position and moved to the 6 o'clock position. Towards the end of the video, he did another crawl.

After we decided to call it a day with filming, Ian saw the camera in my hand and followed it with interest. I managed to lure him to the 3 o'clock position with the camera, by showing him footage of himself.

Ian, you have made Daddy and Mummy so happy today!
